People who pre-ordered Wolfenstein: The New Order have been blasting their way around Doom’s closed beta since March 31. Soon everyone will be able to join them: open beta falls April 15-18, no codes required. For the duration, you’ll be able to play Team Deathmatch and Warpath (a moving king of the hill mode) on the...
The Doom closed multiplayer beta is underway. Right now thousands of helmeted space marines are spamming rockets at each other across rivers of blood and lava. Occasionally, one of them stands on a rune and turns into a hellbeast. It’s kinetic and bloody, but is it any good? Tom and Phil have put in a few...
Remember that awful Doom movie with The Rock and Karl Urban? Bethesda Softworks remembers. You can tell, because the new live-action teaser for the upcoming Doom FPS is nothing like it. To be fair, it’s only a minute long, as opposed to the torturous 105 minutes of the film, but it gets right to the...
The Doom multiplayer beta, as you may be aware, begins at 10 pm ET on March 31. The good news is, that’s only two sleeps away! The bad news is that it’s restricted to people who preordered Wolfenstein: The New Order, or purchased it digitally prior to May 26, 2014. Or is it? Here’s a...
There’s a hint to Evolve in the new Doom trailer, as it shows some of the demons you can play as in multiplayer. Oh, and the BFG. The powers you’ll be able to grab include the ability to turn into demons, invisibility, Quad Damage, power weapons like the BFG and chainsaw, and a Gauss Cannon...
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts – BAFTA – has announced it will be handing this year’s Fellowship award to none other than John Carmack. This means the man behind Doom, Quake and now Oculus Rift (as well as some rockets on the side) will be honoured with the Academy’s highest honour, which...
Last week, we got a look at the nine multiplayer maps that will be included with Bethesda’s upcoming FPS Doom. Now it’s time to lay eyes on the game’s half-dozen multiplayer modes: some new, and some you may have run into previously. Team Deathmatch has been around for ages, and Clan Arena is basically the same...
The new Doom teaser is called “Multiplayer Maps Explored,” but I think that’s overstating it a bit. After all, it’s hard to get much exploration done when you’ve got 43 seconds to cover nine different maps. Over at Bethesda.net, however, there’s a slightly more detailed breakdown of Doom’s deadly delves, as well as a few...
Gore and beastly new demons—everything we have any right to expect from new Doom footage. But wait! It’s accompanied by the dates for the closed beta, so clear your calendar: March 31, 10pm ET – April 3, 11:59pm ET is going to get messy. The bad news is that this beta will only be available to those who pre-ordered Wolfenstein:...
